[Issue 84603] pdf export yields transparent layer artifacts
Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2008 4:27 pm
I have an empty layer with a bitmap filling the area that I use as a transparent mask so that I can pick with precision which parts I would like not to be shaded. For instance, in the below picture I want the word "Order" to be highlighted on the slide:
1) Make a normal "Title, Text" slide.
2) Use a backgroud from a bitmap that you like.
3) Make a polygon of the "filled" type that covers everything but the highlighted area.
-- (make sure it stretches from the top left of your slide to the bottom right)
4) right-click on this area and do "area" and then click the "bitmaps" tab. import the same bitmap as your background.
5) now click the "Area" tab in the same window, Change the fill to bitmap and choose the picture you imported. unchoose "tile" and choose "autofit"
6) right-click on this area and do "line". now choose under "line properties" the "Style" "invisible. (i also tried to make the line syle solid but transparent and it did the same)
7) now export to pdf and view the pdf. observe the arifacts
Thanks for any help you can give.

To recreate the problem...1) Make a normal "Title, Text" slide.
